How will you measure the value of a hunt, in Inches or in memories?
Having dealt with a lot of clients over the years I realized that a record book animal is just a drop in the ocean compared to the experience of true African Safari taking back memories that will last till the end of days. It is all about being in the bush, walking among the animals and smelling the fresh African morning air, while sharing knowledge and trying to get as close as possible to your target. Sitting at night around a big camp fire talking about hunting and listening to the night calls of different animals and birds. It is the experience and memories that keep on bringing clients that became friends back year after year. It seems that a record book animal is just a bonus.
Would like to know what you think.

Being a total greenhorn to the Africa scene, I humbly must say I am doing it for the memories and enjoyment of the great past time. Just being able to experience the the wonder of hunting Africa is trophy enough for me.

You nailed it. Don't forget the "anticipation of a stalk". That's a big thrill too.
Taking animals is just a "bonus".

I would say it is the memories that we share weather it is amongst client or just fellow outfitters. Hunting is a common interest that we all share and love sure people have different takes on what they hunt and how but at the end of the day it is all about making a memory that will always stay with you. Some of my best memories are not about animals that were hunted but about how we got there in other words what happened in the whole week of hunting weather it is outsmarting that kudu or the feeling of arriving at a bait and you bump the leopard off it. The team work between a ph and client makes for some of the best memories one would ever have, getting the one you are after is just a bonus and would help to strengthen the bond and relationship that will last a lifetime.Louis Van Bergen

Memories for me. I hunted South Africa this year. I shot a 24 inch Nyala. My PH was all appologetic. He thought it was a bit bigger. My response was I'm the one who pulled the trigger in the end. It's the biggest Nyala I've ever shot. I thought the whole experiance was fantastic.

Of course fond memories play a large part in measuring the success of a safari. But going home with good trophies can certainly enhance the overall experience....
Interestingly; more often than not, exceptional trophies end up being taken not by "inch hunters" but rather by ordinary people with ordinary expectations... maybe because there is less pressure on the PH to make a call...
I've heard of (and to a certain extent experienced firsthand) hunters coming to Africa with expectations of ONLY killing record book animals and end up going home with fewer trophies than what they would have liked to bag... Some of these hunters report back in the excellent hunt they had in spite of their "smaller" success rate - others blame the Outfitter for not having trophy quality animals available in his areas... Fact is that - if you set minimum criteria on the expected size of trophies (specifically related to record book trophies- you should be prepared to go home without some. Fortunately most hunters know and accept this as par of the cause.
A popular phrase used by hunters are: "I am not a trophy hunter - I am here for the experience and as long as I get good representative specimens I'll be a happy guy..." This can be great to hear from a PH perspective as it does reduce pressure on him in terms of finding his client his animals. But at the same token it should not be seen by a PH as carte blanche to let his client shoot immature or animals of inferior trophy quality.Chris Troskie / Chris Troskie Safaris - South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe & Mozambique

I go for the experience, hands down. I've never entered a single animal I've taken into any record book - SCI, Rowland Ward, Boone & Crockett or Pope & Young; though I've taken more than a few animals that would make these various books.
What I've taken away from my hunts are the memories, like the very first day I spent hunting in Africa. I was on the Deka Concession in Zimbabwe with Roy Vincent. We'd arrived in the middle of the afternoon, so he suggested we take a drive around the area to see what we might find. The first animals I saw were a few impala and a duiker, then some zebras. Just as the track crossed the border into Wankie Park, we found a couple of big, old buffalo bulls. We got out, and snuck up on them so that I could take some photos of these old bulls. After that, we snuck away and resumed our drive. As we came back out of the park, the track turned to the right and we were suddennly faced with a fabulous full maned lion. He got up and slowly walked away. Roy had turned the truck so that I could better see and photograph the lion, but in my excitement, I jumped out with the camera and walked around the front of the truck to photograph him. Roy just about came unglued, as the lion was only about 25 yards away. Fortunately, he trotted off into the bush. I did not have a lion on license, so the only trophy I have of him is a photograph of the south end of a north bound lion. I still look at that picture from time to time to relive the moment.
I won't tell you about the size of the animals I took, though most were very good indeed. What I can tell you is about memories of moments like that which I will cherish for all my days.

I've only ever been once, but I hope to go back. But if I never do, I'll never forget the time that I had hunting in Namibia at Keerweder with Brian and Bennie. My lost guns that still haven't showed up. My two days of lousy shooting with Bennie's rifle that where MY fault not his rifle's. Missing two gemsbuck before I connected with the one I took. Looking through the scope at the kudu I took to the sight of the ranch house in the distance, requiring us to relocate so that if I missed AGAIN I didn't hit their house. Tracking an even bigger kudu than the one I took for five miles and not getting a shot. Long after I'm too old to hunt, I'll still have all that, and it has nothing to do with taking 4 silver medal trophies.

Memories of course, but some of my fondest memories came with the best trophies I have shot!
IMO there is plenty of room for both..I also know that the memories thing are used as a crutch for shot out concessions in many cases, so its a subject that an outfitter should avoid, however in this particular case I know that Leeukop safaris is not guilty of such antics and it is a legitamate post from a legitamate outfitter..RAY ATKINSON
I am glad to see that there are still a lot of people that are hunting for the love of the sport!

I agree that there is plenty of room for both. You are there for the enjoyment of the entire hunting experience and each hunt will offer something new and different from the last. I feel part of that hunting experience is to always give it your best by seeking out the finest trophy you are mentally and physically capable of pursuing . . . and then gratefully accept and enjoy what falls to your shot.

Well the answer is a bit tricky.
Yes the experience is the most important, make no mistake. However if an area sold as having great trophy animals and they can't seem to find any during the trip.... well that is a bit of a problem.
A client saying the experience is the most important is not a license to pursue average or small animals (through stocking of less expensive animals or over hunted concessions etc...)
Rather a client taking an average or smaller animal is okay if given the fair chance to take a record book animal. Just that Diana offered up something less at the moment.

I have my first safari planned for next year, but I will approach it as memories first and score someplace around 9 or 10 in my top ten reasons to hunt Africa. No matter how big the animal is, it is always the memories that enter my mind every time I look at the mount again, not the score.
Besides, when I get my trophies back they will be the biggest African trophies in my whole town!
The time spent in the bush and the unforgettable camp fire (+ beers) with friends is the reason while I enjoy the hunt.
There must be a challenge to arrive to the collect of an animal and create the memory.
My best African hunting memory is a 2 hours stalk/crawling between stones and thorns after an Eland; passing very close to giraffe. At the end I finally could have a good shooting opportunity but left that brave animal that defend himself so nicely .
Of course I dont full myself when I bag a nice trophy Im happy mostly because it will remained me nice peace of life (I only measured one of my trophies).

Hunting is about memories - chasing that particular trophy is usually part of the memory so I am not sure you can separate the two. That said, trophies, like beauty, are IMO in the eye of the beholder. I could not care less about the SCI, B&C, P&Y or whatever other scoring system peope use, I have never measured an animal for a record book and doubt I ever will.
My 15 minutes of fame does not need to come from seeing my name in a record book.
I enjoy things like the the time I spent sitting at the lodge Bar this past summer, telling all of the other anglers in the lodge about ever aspect of the day that I caught the Grand Slam of flat fishing (Tarpon, Bonefish and Permit) all on the smae day - on a flyrod none-the-less. What made it so great was 10 of so people who love my sport as much as I do, riveted in the details of every jump that Tarpon made, every turn the permit made towards the pileon of the old abandoned dock, and each blister run the bonefish made that could have ended my quest in the blink of an eye.
The same holds true for the moose I shot on the last day of decent hunting, at 500 yards, over the heads of a heard of Caribou and only after letting the first bull pass because I had a "feeling" about getting a better bull. Wuld it make a book - No! Is it a trophy of a lifetime - well, its hangs with pride in the most prominent location in my house.
So I guess for me the answer is that inches might play a big role in why I am hunting in a particular place at a particular time and taking the game I am hnting does make the hunt better than gogin home without getting the animal that I was looking for but i the end, all we have is what we started with - our memories.
As a very good friend said to me and my wife many years ago now "Life is just a collection of memories." As soon as I heard that, it became my personal mantra and makes a great guideline for all of th major decisions in life - and that icludes when to pull the trigger and at what trophy.
Count me on the memories side!

Crusaders Win Two More; Extend Winning Streak to Six Games
Friday, March 09, 2007Valparaiso won a pair of one-run decisions Friday at the Rebel Spring Games in Orlando, Fla., downing Detroit, 5-4, and Monmouth, 3-2. The two victories extend the Crusaders' win streak to six games, the longest such streak by a Valpo softball team in 18 seasons. Taylor Callahan (Pendergrass, Ga./Greater Atlanta Christian) broke the school record for assists in a career in the opener and registered the game-winning home run in the nightcap.
Callahan surpassed the previous record of 353 career assists in the fourth inning against the Titans on the back end of a key ground-ball double play. Detroit had closed within 4-2 and had runners on first and second with nobody out when Jessica Liebner laced a grounder down the third-base line that Callahan snagged, stepped on third to force out the lead runner, and fired to first for the record-breaking assist. The Titans would not score again in the inning.
Valpo put two runs on the board in the third on a Detroit error, and scored twice more in the fourth inning on a 2-RBI single by Beth Adamski (Saint John, Ind./Lake Central). Shannon Robinson (Toronto, Ontario, Canada/John Redmond) scored what looked to be a routine insurance run when she stole home in the fifth inning to give Valpo a 5-2 edge, but the run would turn out to be a big one later on, as Detroit scored twice in the bottom of the seventh and had the tying run up to the plate, but Andrea Zappia (Indianapolis, Ind./Franklin Central) registered a strikeout to close out the game.
Stephanie Kelly (Plainfield, Ill./Plainfield) earned her third win in as many games, evening her season record at 3-3, allowing just two runs in five innings of work. Zappia pitched the final two frames to record her first save of the season and tenth of her career. Eight Crusader hitters registered hits in the win.
In the nightcap, Monmouth jumped out to a 2-0 lead on single tallies in the third and fourth innings. Valpo struck back in the bottom of the fourth, however. Megan Carroll (Eaton Rapids, Mich./Eaton Rapids) singled to lead off the inning, extending her hitting streak to seven games. Karen Korb (Indianapolis, Ind./Lutheran North) reached on an error by Monmouth's pitcher on a sacrifice attempt, allowing Carroll to move up to third.
Korb and Carroll then pulled off a double steal, with Carroll crossing the plate with the Crusaders' first run of the game. Three batters later, Callahan came through with the seventh home run of her career for the game's final margin.
Chris Halstead (Indianapolis, Ind./Cathedral) moved to 3-0 on the season, allowing two runs on five hits in four innings of work. Kelly came in and threw three scoreless frames to earn her first save of the season.
Valparaiso (7-3) puts its six-game win streak on the line Saturday as the Crusaders close out play at the Rebel Spring Games. Valpo will take on Colgate at 8 a.m. Central time before facing Fairleigh Dickinson at noon.

This medal is awarded for outstanding achievements in the physical sciences in odd years and the biological sciences in even years.
The Copley Medal is the Society's oldest and most prestigious award, having first been awarded in 1731. It has been awarded to several notable scientists, including Michael Faraday FRS, Charles Darwin FRS, Dorothy Hodgkin FRS and Francis Crick FRS.
The medal is awarded annually "for outstanding achievements in research in any branch of science". The award alternates between the physical and biological sciences (odd and even years respectively). In 2010, to mark the Society's 350th anniversary, two Copley medals were awarded, one for each branch of science.
The Copley Medal was created following donations from Godfrey Copley FRS (PDF) and was initially awarded for the most important scientific discovery or for the greatest contribution made by experiment. In 1831 the conditions were changed so that it was awarded to the author of the research that the Council of the Society decided was the most deserving of the honour. The medal is of silver gilt and is accompanied by a gift of £5,000.
The next call for nominations for this award opens on 28 November 2014.
The recipient is chosen by the Council of the Royal Society on the recommendation of the Physical Sciences Awards Committee. Nominations are valid for five years after which the candidate cannot be re-nominated until a year after the nomination has expired.
The award is open to citizens of a Commonwealth country or of the Irish Republic or those who have been ordinarily resident and working in a Commonwealth country or in the Irish Republic for a minimum of three years immediately prior to being proposed. There are no limitations on the period in which the research achievements were made and it may be given more than once to the same person.
Professor Sir Andre Geim FRS was awarded the 2013 Copley Medal for his numerous scientific contributions and, in particular, for initiating research on two‐dimensional atomic crystals and their artificial heterostructures.
Copley Medal: For outstanding achievements in either the physical or biological sciences.
Royal Medal: For the most important contributions in the physical, biological and applied sciences.

Thank you for testing my recipe. I love your suggestions for streamlining the preparation and had completely forgotten to mention removing the tough outer part or the kohlrabi. Nicely improved. I love the image, please feel free to add it to the recipe. Thank you again!

Happy to have done so. Thanks very much for teaching me about kohlrabi. I'll try your other recipe about oven dried kohlrabi with soy too. Sounds delicious!

She loves all kinds of design – from fashion to architecture – and she thirsts for adventure and seeks it not only in her own home of Toronto, but around the world. She has a unique, colourful, and inspiring sense of style. Otiena certainly doesn't blend in, but that's okay – she doesn't want to.
How did you dress in elementary school? How about in high school?
In grade 4, I had an awesome pair of lime green platform shoes that I wore everyday… The Spice Girls influenced that decision! In high school my best friend and I paired odd combinations of things together. We tried to be creative with our clothes because it was fun and we wanted to stand out. A lot of the girls we went to high school with wore Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister so we sort of did it as a rebellion.
I have this bright yellow dress with little blue owls on it that I bought in Kensington Market. I wore it a lot in my teenage years; on dates, to school, to Greece, and I was made fun of mercilessly, but I didn't care because it so perfectly represented my personality. I still wear it today and I still get made fun of although now it's a little bit "cooler" to be seen sporting a vintage dress like that one.
You do a lot of traveling. Has this affected the way you see fashion?
I love traveling and every time I do, I try to pick up a few pieces that I feel either really represent the place, will remind me of it, or are just unique pieces that I won't be able to find back home.
Last year I lived in Indonesia and dressing was tricky. It was extremely hot and I needed clothes that were comfortable, durable, that I was willing to get dirty, and most importantly, that covered me up because the majority of Indonesians are Muslim. I didn't really care how I looked so I opted for baggy shirts and capris. I did get some beautifully patterned cloths, one of which I got made into a mermaid-shaped skirt. It isn't really something I would wear in Canada, but in Indonesia I got a lot of compliments on it. It's funny how the clothes that were fashionable there would never be fashionable here. They really like patterns and baubles. They have this traditional dyeing technique that makes a pattern called Batik and that's what they wear for formal occasions. It is really something to see all of the men in these intricately patterned shirts instead of black dress suits.
Sometimes I have a lot of difficulty with having a fashionable image. I want to dress nicely, look and feel good, and indulge in fashion, but I also feel like I only feel those ways when I am 'dressed up' in makeup and nice clothes. Shouldn't we feel all of those things even when we're just looking exactly like ourselves without any of that stuff? As I adapt to where I am, so does my sense of fashion. Each scene differs from the next; I guess that's the fun of fashion, after all.

Hindi Kana Mag-iisa is another tv series in GMA 7. The series tells the story of Elisa, who at a very young age, learned and experienced all the hardships in life. Because of the trials young Elisa endured, she has no self-confidence and doesn't trust people immediately because she feels that the people she loves will always leave her. Elisa is scared of falling in love because she doesn't exactly know how to love someone since she never experienced it yet.
However, all these will change when she meets and gets to know her younger sister, Angelica who is mentally challenged. At first, Elisa is hesitant and can't feel any love or affection towards her sister because she believes that their mother left her to have a better life and chose Angelica over her. But eventually she learns to care and love her sister.
Andrew will play an important role in Elisa's life. Andrew falls for Elisa. He'll help and teach Elisa to outgrow her insecurities, fears and worries when it comes to love.
From all the trials and challenges Elisa went through – from the time her mother left her, being mistreated by people around her, being an employer in the new family of her own mother, up to the time when her sister is forcibly taken away from her – Elisa needs to be strong and tough not just for herself but most especially for her sister, Angelica.
Elisa will do anything to protect, defend and fight for her sister but one secret will change everything.

Belle was only 22 at the time and, after a successful career as a child actress, had yet to make the leap to the A-list. Her turns in When a Stranger Calls, 10,000 BC and Push certainly showed promise, but as long as she remained with the middle Jonas, interest in her love life would always trump interest in her career. Two years later, Belle finally finds herself in the spotlight again, with upcoming roles in From Prada to Nada, Zebras and the ambitious Mary Mother of Christ, in which she'll star as Mary opposite screen legends Al Pacino and Peter O'Toole.

The Fushimi Inari Shrine can be found just two stops down from Kyoto Station on the JR Nara line. The temple is just a few minutes away from the station exit. This Shinto shrine is dedicated to Inari, the female spirit of fertility and rice. This shrine is particularly remarkable for the unbelievable amount of large torii, or gates, covering the grounds. These large gates were all donated by worshippers as a way of giving thanks to the spirit. Entrance to this shrine is free.
After entering the main torii gate, you'll come to a large shrine. There's another shrine up the steps. To the side you'll find the start of the seemingly endless procession of orange gates. This path provides a charming walk. The gates stretch on and on, and even go up a mountain. To the sides you'll find small paths that lead to little shrines dotting the mountain. You can keep in climbing and climbing, passing small noodle houses, and eventually you'll reach a fantastic view of the city. By this time you might be sweating a river from the strenuous climbing; this shrine is not for the weak of heart!
The Fushimi-Inari shrine was so large that I couldn't even explore all the grounds. The gates just keep on going! It's an incredible sight and one you shouldn't miss. When I went, near dusk, the shrine was not crowded. It's supposed to close at sunrise but people were wandering around long past. The lanterns along the side are lit but you must be careful at night due to the incredibly amount of steps and the possibility of tripping and falling. Be sure to have a good and safe time at this awe-inspiring shrine!

Inari is the rice god, the spirit who insures an abundant harvest and general prosperity. Inari is particularly popular with entrepreneurs and businessmen, since the god assists in business success and accumulating wealth. In gratitude - or perhaps in anticipation of having something to be grateful for - individuals and corporations have torii gates built at the shrine. The red-orange gates, indicating the sacred ground of Shinto shrines, are one of the classic visual images of Japan: a gate framed by two columns or posts supporting two crossbars, one extending beyond the uprights.
The first gates, at the transition from the town to the shrine, are the largest. This area, just at the base of Mount Inari, is given over mostly to a Buddhist temple. As Johnnie Hillwalker explained during our walking tour of Kyoto, the Buddhas and the Shinto spirits are all very friendly. If a place is sacred to one, others will also find the same ground holy. Neither belief is upset when shrines and temples are built side-by-side, and Japanese people have no difficulty reconciling and practicing the two faiths.
Behind the temple are more torii gates and individual shrines to Inari. Further up the hillside, the torii gates suddenly come together, becoming a tunnel: each gate is built immediately adjacent to the next. At intervals, the gates thin out and there is a collection of individual shrines, some ornate, with a dozen or more small torii gate models, others simpler, all with small carved foxes. At higher levels, there are scenic lookouts over Kyoto and tea houses where a tired visitor can get a snack and a rest. The gates and shrines continue up the hillside for 4 kilometers (2.4 miles)!
I found it exotic and mysterious, but being able to read Japanese could spoil the effect. Each gate is marked with information about the donor. As we walked through, my daughter began pointing out, "This one is from an eyeglass shop and an optometrist... this one is from a department store." I had to tell her to stop because she was removing all the romance and intrigue!
In a somewhat unrelated topic, you may encounter inari sushi. There is no raw fish in inari sushi. It consists of rice and sesame seeds wrapped in fried tofu... and it's tasty!

text: Celebrities Dressed as Marilyn Monroe, Including Michelle Williams, Christina Aguilera, and Nicki Minaj How 10 Stars Have Created Marilyn Monroe's Look by Miriam Lacey 10/13/10 77 Reactions 52 Shares Print 1 42 9 0 0 This recently released photo of Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe in My Week With Marilyn is refreshingly different from the glitzy, camp portrayals of the star we're used to seeing. But even so, it's hard to do an icon like Marilyn justice, especially since there's already an extensive record of her on celluloid. Of the bevy of celebrities who've dressed up as Norma Jeane Baker, I've picked out 10 of the best and most interesting takes on her look. Some of them have become iconic in their own right, and some are sweetly unexpected tributes. So who wore the beauty mark best? Just click through to decide for yourself. Jennifer Lopez What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For George Lopez's first birthday episode, Jennifer Lopez recorded a copy of Marilyn's performance for JFK, complete with platinum wig and plenty of lipstick. Photo courtesy TBS 1 / 10 Britney Spears What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For the Onyx Hotel Tour, Britney channeled Gentlemen Prefer Blondes-era Marilyn with white blond, voluminous hair, scarlet lips, and diamonds galore. Photo courtesy Britney Spears 2 / 10 Mira Sorvino What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In Norma Jean and Marilyn, Ashley Judd played Norma Jean Dougherty, and Mira Sorvino got cast as post-transformation Marilyn Monroe. She went all out to get Marilyn's look, including bleaching her hair platinum, gaining weight, using extra wigs for volume, and wearing blue contact lenses. 3 / 10 Nicki Minaj What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For XXL Magazine's May issue, Nicki donned a platinum wig and drew on a beauty mark in homage to Marilyn. Photo courtesy XXL Magazine 4 / 10 Madonna What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Madonna's "Material Girl" music video, which re-created a scene from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, has gotten copied over and over again in its own right. Madonna didn't go as blond as Marilyn, but she did copy her lipstick and hairstyle almost exactly. It doesn't hurt that they both have the same perfectly placed beauty mark, either. 6 / 10 Scarlett Johansson What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For her first round of Dolce & Gabbana makeup ads, Scarlett looked very Marilyn, with sexy light blond curls and slick patent red lips and polish. 6 / 10 Christina Aguilera What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Christina emulates Marilyn so much of the time, but for Back to Basics, she referenced Monroe's sleepy, romantic photo shoots with bedhead and her trademark liner look. 7 / 10 Mariah Carey What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For her 1998 music video "I Still Believe", Mariah re-created Marilyn's 1953 performance for troops in Korea down to her posing and choreography. She copied Marilyn's hairstyle and makeup, but kept her own hair color. 8 / 10 Amber Rose What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For the June issue of YRB Magazine, Amber Rose alluded to Marilyn with a platinum wig. Photo courtesy YRB Magazine 9 / 10 Michelle Williams What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Michelle is starring in My Week With Marilyn, a biopic about Marilyn's working relationship with Sir Laurence Olivier (played by Kenneth Branagh, of course). Michelle's impersonation looks softer and far less campy than many portrayals of the star, with more natural makeup and soft, fine hair instead of the fluffy helmet head we're used to seeing. 11 / 10 1 42 9 0 0 Read More Nicki MinajAmber RoseMira SorvinoWigMarilyn MonroeHalloweenJennifer LopezMakeupCelebrity BeautyMadonnaScarlett JohanssonMariah CareyMichelle WilliamsChristina AguileraBritney Spears Halloween 11 Reasons It Was Sweet to Be a '90s Kid 1 week ago Ranking M&M's: Which Comes in at No. 1? 1 week ago 19 Old-Time Confections That Shouldn't Be Forgotten 2 weeks ago Mom Brings Star Wars to Life For Her Daughter 2 weeks ago 13 Foods For Freaky Friday 12/13/13 A Showstopping Vegetarian Main For Thanksgiving 11/11/13 Get a Personalized Fashion & Beauty Newsletter!

WOW!! End of week three and Ive lost 3 pounds, 2 1/2 inches of my waist and 1 inch of my hips!!! Im am so excited to continue on and see some great results!!! Love this program!!!
Congrats!! I am waiting to measure myself til the end (or until I think I see results that I can get excited about!)
Congratulations on the progress! With those measurement changes and weight loss, it sounds to this admittedly untrained ear like you are adding some muscle as you lose the other "stuff".
Thanks guys! I did my body fat % and Im down from 34% to 31.5%...really exciting!!
Keep it up...you are on the right track!!
Tis better to look UP in the mirror to be inspired than to look DOWN at the scale and lose your desire!! - SEM
Sounds like some serious progress, way to go and Keep Moving Forward!!! Be sure to take photos and mesurements along the way , not just scale only. How are the clothes fitting now?
My size 12's are not as sung and I got into a M size dress the other day! I went out today and bought a pair of size 8 pants as my next BIG goal. Ultimately Id like to get into a size 6 but we'll see!
Heck, by the time you're done with this, you might be in a size 2/4! Keep up the good work!
Wow laurathelibrarian...thanks!!!

You are being dishonest. This isn't about informed consent, it's about infantilizing women and throwing up roadblocks to a decision they are entitled to make. Every one of these bills is similar in this regard: waiting periods, ultrasounds, counseling, etc... it's all to discourage the choice and in some cases to push the woman past the point of viability.
You are being dishonest.

Fri-Sat 5:30pm10:30pm
Neighborhoods: West Side, Near West Side
West Loop hot spot sheds French accent for seasonal American – Where French-inspired cuisine once ruled the roost, under executive chef Michael McDonald the focus has shifted to seasonal contemporary American. At this cobalt-blue former pickle factory in the far West Loop, precisely prepared, whimsically presented renditions of comfort foods like chicken and biscuits (with luxurious foie gras sauce) are right at home next to world-inflected entrees like Thai barbeque-style Sonoma duck breast. The plush, sprawling dining room, anchored along one side by a sparkling open kitchen, is a slick, civilized space for a mix of business diners and young couples on date night. The sultry lounge strikes a convivial chord for the after-work crowd, complete with a playful list of bar bites and a mix of seasonal and classic cocktails.
Experience lacking – We were really excited to try this restaurant, but unfortunately it fell short on every point. We waited exceptionally long for a dinner menu and first drink to arrive and later had our food sent to another table (which resulted in our server visibly telling off the back wait staff). While the warmed herb cheese and endive salad were phenomenal, the delmonico was rather tough and fatty. When two glasses of the same wine showed up on the bill at the higher price rather than two different glasses, instead of correcting the total, we were told that we were given two glasses of the same wine since "Burgundy blend" (listed on the menu) had been interpreted as the "pinor noir" from Burgundy. While only a few dollars in difference, it left a lasting impression. For the price point which it is, this restaurant missed our expectations by a long shot.
Buyer beware: Overpriced and underwhelming – In a city like Chicago, where you can find high quality fare for very low prices, it is astonishing to find a place like onesixtyblue doing well. My husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day there and we were extremely disappointed, to say the least. the first thing that struck me when we got there was that when I called to make the reservation, they told me that they didn't have room for that night. But then, miraculously, they found us avalued spot. We were ecstatic! However, when we got there last night, it was half-empty the whole night (we got there at 8:30 pm). That captures the pretense and bluff of the place.
The food was ok,- just ok- but we felt cheated when the bill arrived. The waiter suggested two wines (by the glass) and when we saw that one of them was $20 and the other $15, we were shocked. He never warned us of the price, given that the wine was actually underwhelming,and, more importantly, those prices almost doubled the ones we had seen on the wine list.
In short, overpriced and pretentious. We won't be going back there.
The staff tried to pad the bill – We arrived promptly for a 9pm reservation and had to wait for 1/2 hour at the bar before finally inquiring about our table. We were then (finally) seated. That I could have forgiven.
We ordered a cheese course and waited 22 minutes for it to arrive. Now, I know that they don't ferment their own cheese at 160 Blue. All they really had to do was slice and plate the cheese. But 22 minutes later it arrived. It was decent cheese, about the quality of cheese I get at Whole Foods, but not bad. Anyway, all this I could have forgiven.
My husband ordered the "Boneless" Squab but kept picking the bird's ribcage out of his mouth. I ordered the Halibut and it was good, not great. The squab, despite the millions of tiny little bones, was quite tasty. The food took incredibly long to come out. All this I could have forgiven.
So, now we have been at this restaurant for THREE HOURS, mostly wondering why our food was taking so long, and the bill comes. At first glance everything looks OK except a mysterious apple martini that neither my husband nor I ordered. OK, weird mistake but, whatever. At a second pass over the bill, we noticed that our entire bar tab was transferred onto our dinner bill. That would have been fine, if we hadn't closed out our bar tab before being seated. I've waited tables at high end restaurants in college and have seen this trick used a hundred times. Bartenders and waiters do this to pad the bill to increase their tip. It's an old trick and it left a bad taste in my mouth. After we complained the hostess come over and gave us some half-baked excuse about the bartender's forgetfulness, which was funny because it was obvious that she hardly believed her own story. And this was the final and inexcusable straw.
I do not go out to dinner to get swindled by the staff. The lax attitude of the management implied that they condone this treatment of their customers. If you go, check your bill very carefully because you just might find an added surprise.
Big time bust! – I tried out the prixe fix menu and was not impressed. The only thing I cared for was the corn soup. The grilled arctic char was bland..the apple pie was way too tart I couldn't even finish it!!! Who walks away from warm apple pie? Three courses cost $45 without wine, tax or tip. The wine list by the glass was VERY limited... Note to owners: Expensive, overpriced doesn't always translate into great experiences, especially in Chicago where we are spoiled for choice.
I would recommend other places such as Block 44 for their excellent 4-course w/wine pairings - all simply exquisite
GOT TO TRY!!! – This is one of my favorite spots to try. Everyone whom I have sent or brought has loved the food and the wine! The service and the ambiance of the location is just fantastic.
absolutely loved it – I went for my birthday last night with my boyfriend. There was a 10 minute wait for our table, even when the dining room seemed half full. But the food was fabulous, the wine fantastic and dessert was great. Even though our waiter had a party to attend to, he checked on us often, made suggestions, etc. We lingered for about 30 minutes over our wine (we wanted to finish it) before ordering dessert and he didn't even blink. It was a great evening.
would return – excellent / knowledgable waiter (good wine rec). each steak was overcooked - usually bad news - but they still tasted very good (and the bill made up for the kitchen's mistake). duck is good app; delmonico is a good entree choice. chef visited the table. portions were appropriately sized.
A brilliant infusion of French influence ups the ante at this ultra-stylish, contemporary West Loop standout. – The Scene
Power money meets urban chic at this stunningly handsome makeover of a former pickle factory. The dining room is sleek and loft-like. Servers are friendly and attentive to a fault, refilling every sip of water. One partner is a guy by the name of Michael Jordan.
The Food
Debonair Chef Martial Noguier brings his deft French influence to contemporary dishes, like a subtle, stellar appetizer of chilled shrimp with creamy celery-root remoulade, sweet Anjou pear and a substantial, musky vinaigrette. Thin-sliced loin of lamb is paired with a flavorful, garden-fresh vegetable casserole, and perfectly sauteed grouper swims in a vegetable "bouillabaisse" redolent with fennel, garlic and orange juice, garnished with mussels and spiked with briny black olive tapenade. For dessert, try the limited, but exquisite, cheese selection from Sofia Solomon--or head to Cocoa Bar in the lounge and indulge in house-made chocolate creations, truffles, wine, cigars and more.
a little disappointing – I spent a lot of time researching chicago restaurants before our trip. I ended up choosing "nine" and 160 blue, but expected more from 160 since I favor french food. Unfortunately I was really disappointed b/c the service was awful and the food was good, but nothing special. I really enjoyed my chocolate dessert but everythinge else was less than memorable.

The incident, which has shined a spotlight on cyber harassment, online privacy and digital forensics, has left a lot of people wondering if the head of the country's intelligence community and his girlfriend, a former counterintelligence officer, can't keep their emails private, do most of us even stand a shot?
"The best way to protect yourself is to simply realize that privacy doesn't necessarily exist in the electronic world," said Dan Ring, a spokesman for the security company Sophos. "Simply put, if you don't want it out there in the world, don't put it in the electronic world."
Petraeus, who took over as head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) just 14 months ago, announced his resignation last Friday, putting the blame on an extra-marital affair.
The affair, which reportedly was with Petraeus' biographer and Army reservist Paula Broadwell, came to light at the hands of an FBI investigation that had originally focused on a potential cybercrime.
This past summer, Jill Kelley, a fundraiser for the U.S. military, is reported to have told a friend in the FBI that she'd received five to 10 anonymous harassing emails. The FBI began to investigate.
What they found was a trail of emails between two people -- Petraeus and Broadwell -- who were trying to hide an affair.
Using a pseudonym, Petraeus had reportedly set up various email accounts, including Gmail accounts, that he used to send Broadwell messages. One email account was actually a shared account, created so they could leave each other draft messages.
The idea was that if they left unsent emails in a draft folder, which is known as an electronic drop box, they wouldn't leave a trail and would then be more difficult for anyone to find or trace.
The FBI tracked all of this down when they began investigating the harassing emails being sent to Kelley.
Using metadata footprints left by the emails to determine where the emails had been sent from, investigators traced the emails to an account that Broadwell shared with her husband, the Wall Street Journal reported. They used that information to get a warrant to monitor her email accounts.
Then the rest began to fall into place.
"If you're just a normal person sending email, then it's pretty easy to trace," said Keith Jones, a computer forensic investigator and co-owner of Jones Dykstra & Associates. "Every server [an email] hits going to its destination puts a little identifying line in there... It's like a chain of custody, showing who had the email when."
Simply put, emails generally lay out the tracking information - where they originated and what servers they touched along the way.
However, Jones also said with some work it is possible to hide that trail when sending emails.
"It's very easy to not be traced," said Jones, who noted that he's able to use email in about half the digital investigations they do. "If you take a little bit of effort, you can make it look like it came from someplace else... You can fake the originating address by using an anonymizer."

Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Comments about NATURES ANSWER Nature's Answer® Red Yeast Rice:
Although Drugstore and GNC offer one combined website, when I went in under GNC I didn't see previous orders - may be an info need on my part and not the site. Anyway I thought this was the Red Yeast Rice brand that I'd been getting for a couple of years - label is very similar - so ordered this one. Too much trouble to return and thinking Red Yeast Rice is Red Yeast Rice so will take this and go thru Drugstore.com when I order any vitamins in the future.
